2010 was the most successful year in the history of Betty MacDonald and Alison Bard Burnett Fan Club.When Betty MacDonald Memorial Award Winner Wolfgang Hampel started Betty MacDonald Fan Club in 1983 we had 5 members.

We 'll have Betty MacDonald and Alison Bard Burnett Fan Club members from 30 countries soon. You'll find all the details in next Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter. What a success story!

A special message for tiny, jealous dwarfs: A dream will come true if you believe in yourself and work hard on it. OK? The way our great Betty MacDonald Fan Club member and author Monica Sone describes jealousy is excellent. I totally agree. That's it! Monica Sone is a genius.

We have the great honour and pleasure to introduce a new wonderful Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor member, writer, artist and President of a world famous literary Society.

This will happen in a few days. The new Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor member even created a Betty MacDonald Gallery.

Take care and enjoy the season,

Henning

Angie, your grandmother was a very wise lady as it is our beloved Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor member Monica Sone. To me jealous people are like dwarfs because of their mental disorder. I dislike them very much especially during Christmas time

Very cold days in the State of Washington.

I know Gwen Grant's very special Christmas gift will warm our hearts.

I adore Gwen Grant's books. We can be very proud to have unique Betty MacDonald Fan Club Members like this.

Thanks a Million dear Gwen Grant for sharing this wonderful story!

‘ON TOP OF THE WORLD’

George One had been staring down at the Earth for a little while before he realised something was different.

But what?

Squinting, he concentrated on the big space telescope, the one that was always aimed directly at him. Well, at him and Mr. Estimet, he corrected, because whatever was different seemed to lay there.

‘Ah!’ he exclaimed, as his eyes focussed. ‘That’s it. There’s a new person on the telescope, Mr. Estimet.’

Mr. Estimet, who had also been looking down at the Earth, gently rocking backwards and forwards on his heels, suddenly came to life.

‘A new person, George?’

George zoomed in on the new person and read her name badge.

‘Tilly,’ he announced. ‘Tilly Moffat. Haven’t seen HER before.’

George and Mr. Estimet knew all the people who worked on the big telescope. They knew the ones who got excited about any little change in the Universe, just as they knew the ones who remained calm, even a touch aloof when a new star was spotted, or a new asteroid, or a new anything come to that.

George smiled.

Sometimes, just for the fun of it, he would throw a scrap of foil through the observation window, chortling at the sudden burst of activity below.

Hardly worth a moment’s amusement, though, he admitted, because then he had to go out and get it back and that wasn’t easy, not with the pulling and tugging of all those gravitational fields swooping and soaring around him.

Felt as if he’d been dragged through a force field backwards by the time he’d finished.

But there you are, as Mr. Estimet always said, there was enough junk from the earth cluttering the cosmos without him adding to it.

Now here was Tilly Moffat and George had no idea how she would respond.

‘Hmmm. Pleasant until she buys a great big field and builds a great big house on it with no regard for the non-humans who were there first.’

‘Now, now, George,’ Mr. Estimet began, then let it go.

His own eyes shifted from Tilly Moffat back to the earth. He could see snow falling in parts of that little world down there and he totally loved snow.

Adored it, really.

Why, if there was anything that could make him volunteer for the very next stint on earth as an observer, it would be snow.

There was no snow on their planet, no misty mornings, no blue seas and golden sands, no anything, really.

‘You know,’ he began, ‘despite all the things they do wrong…’

‘Which is practically everything,’ George put in.

Mr. Estimet stopped him.

‘I know, George, I know, but on the other hand, they do have a capacity for love.’

George One almost snorted.

Love, he thought. They had a capacity for love all right when they drowned the sea in oil and chemicals, when they chopped down the rain forests, when they polluted the air and chucked things into space without a thought for those living there.

But all he said was, ‘Really? They have a capacity for love? Are you sure about that, Mr. Estimet?’

‘Well, look at what some of them do,’ Mr. Estimet began. ‘Some try to save the whale and the tiger. Quite a lot of them are trying to save the world. Yes, yes,’ he held up a hand as George One’s mouth opened, ‘I know much of it is self-interest to avoid extinction but not all of it, George. Many of them, for example, work for peace and, most promising, millions of them care about people they don’t even know.’

George thought about this. Nope, he couldn’t believe any of these things but then, Mr. Estimet always had been a wishful thinker, although he denied it.

‘I’m not a wishful thinker so much as a hopeful energy source,’ he would say, ‘just like some of those people on earth.’

There was silence for a moment as both George and Mr. Estimet winkled out the star dressed trees.

‘Hmmm,’ George murmured. ‘Very pretty.’

Mr. Estimet glanced at him.

‘Pretty?’ he repeated, and George blushed.

‘I know it’s an earth word,’ he said defensively, ‘but it happens to be one I like.’

‘And why not,’ Mr. Estimate smiled. Then, ‘Well, George, those trees are called Christmas trees. No, don’t ask me why. I have no idea. All I know is that they do this to them every year and what I thought was, we could put a Christmas tree on top of our planet to show the earth that we quite like them.’

‘At the moment,’ he added.

Ignoring the last remark, George said, ‘Wouldn’t it have to be an extraordinarily big tree?’

‘It would.’ Mr. Estimet’s agreement was instant. ‘But we can do that. We can put a Christmas tree in space with a star on its top branch.’

‘How about the North Star,’ George suggested. ‘That’s the brightest star we’ve got.’

Mr. Estimet shook his head.

‘Better not. They’ll get a bit miffed down there if the North Star suddenly disappears.’

When it was ready, George and Mr. Estimet sent their particle Christmas tree roaring into the silence of the Universe.

It was enormous.

‘Bite bare,’ George said thoughtfully, balancing the North Star on the tip of the tree, whipping a long strand of the Milky Way out of place then

draping it artistically over the branches so that the tree sparkled and shone.

For a moment, the whole Universe shuddered until Mr. Estimet put the strand back almost as fast as George had removed it.

‘Sorry,’ George said.

Other stars were fastened to the tree along with two or three glittering comets put on for a bit of interest and they were having a fine old time until George noticed Tilly Moffat staring up at them.

‘She can see the tree,’ he said.

‘Yes,’ Mr. Estimet nodded. ‘She can.’

The response was immediate from the little world below them and when George spelt out ‘HAPPY CHRISTMAS’ in very small stars, hanging them on the tree in place of the bit of the Milky Way that had been there before, Zachariah Bumble and the whole of the telescope team crowded around Tilly Moffat to stare at the Christmas tree floating in space.

‘Happy Christmas, George,’ said Mr. Estimet, holding the Universe steady as George carefully took down the North Star and put it back where he had found it.

In the deep still silence, George said, ‘Happy Christmas, Mr. Estimet,’ and glancing down at Tilly Moffat’s shining eyes, added one more word to his banner of stars.

Merry Christmas to Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor member Gwen Grant, our other Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor members Monica Sone and Darsie Beck and our Betty MacDonald Fans from all over the world. By the way I know that we'll have Betty MacDonald Fan Club members in 30 countries in the near future. More info will come soon.

Dag I agree with you and very bright Alison Bard Burnett in her unique interviews with Wolfgang Hampel.

Jealousy is a very serious illness. These persons have no self value feeling. They act like angry childs, destroy everything and have a miserable life. Very negative persons, indeed!

I feel sorry for our beloved Betty MacDonald because there was lots of jealousy in her life.

You can find comments of other writers for example:

Betty MacDonald only wrote about herself and boring chickens. I can't understand the reason why THE EGG AND I is so successful.

It's so typical for jealous persons.

I'd like to change this sad subject now.

Let's talk about our future Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor members. We are very happy and grateful.

Betty MacDonald influenced so many people including many writers and artists.

An excellent writer moved to the State of Washington because of Betty MacDonald's unique books. An outstanding artist and writer will create a special Betty MacDonald Gallery.

We are going to introduce the new Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor members in Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter and on our website in December and January.

I hope we'll meet us again in 2011.

My friends and I enjoyed the Betty MacDonald meetings so much. Thank so much for organizing these unforgettable events. It's the unique chance to meet so many international Betty MacDonald fans. They are very optimistic, bright, witty, brilliant and intelligent just the way unique Betty MacDonald is in her books.

I love you and miss you so much!

Wishing you a great time.

Yours forever,

Inga

Sören, your Alison Bard Burnett and Mike Gordon story is great. The pictures are outstanding.

The Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honor members are unique personalities.

Wolfgang Hampel, Monica Sone's very good friend and author of Betty MacDonald and Ma and Pa Kettle biography told us that Monica Sone is always delighted to hear from her fans.

It's the same with our other Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour members, author Gwen Grant and Betty MacDonald's nephew, artist and writer Darsie Beck. If you have any questions or greetings don't hesitate to send them, please. The Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour members are very happy to hear from you.

I admire Monica Sone's book Nisei Daughter. Betty MacDonald was right when she described Monica as Kimi the way she did in her book The Plague and I. Monica is very witty and intelligent although the subject of Nisei Daughter isn't a funny one. Just the opposite!

After reading Gwen Grant's book Private! Keep out! we want to read her other books. Golden Humor! A gifted writer!

Darsie Beck's book and artwork are outstanding. Betty MacDonald would be very proud. What a wonderful family with so many creative personalities!

Anita's story is the best Betty MacDonald Fan Club story ever beside Wolfgang Hampel's Betty MacDonald and Ma and Pa Kettle biography and his magical Betty MacDonald Interviews.

Björn: I have a surprise. My parents visited the Northwest in the sixties. Both are huge Betty MacDonald Fans and they went to Vashon of course and they met ........Mary Bard Jensen, Clyde Reynolds Jensen, Cleve Bard and Mary Alice Bard. We have many photos of the family and my father filmed them with his camera. So you can see and hear the Bard family. I'm going to present this at the next Betty MacDonald Fan Club Meeting. Mary Bard Jensen is very funny, indeed but you'll enjoy Clyde Jensen, Cleve and Mary Alice Bard as well. A wonderful family!

Björn, we can't wait to see the Mary Bard Jensen, Clyde R. Jensen, Cleve Bard and Mary Alice Bard interviews filmed by your father. Did Mary Bard Jensen share any info about the story of Sandra, which Betty MacDonald mentioned in her book Anybody can do anything?We would like to learn more about Mary Bard's book published in the thirties. We know so much more about it after reading Anita's Top Betty MacDonald Fan Club story. Anita also tells the exciting story of Dorita Hess. Betty MacDonald describes this rather strange lady in Anybody can do anything. Did Mary Bard Jensen, Clyde R. Jensen, Cleve Bard and Mary Alice Bard mention her in the interviews?

Björn, excuse my many questions, please but it's so great to have the opportunity to see all the members of the Bard family. I'm overwhelmed. It's such a great feeling. I hope we'll be able to see these interviews and the filmed Betty MacDonald interview at the next Betty MacDonald Fan Club meeting.

Jens: Wolfgang Hampel's Betty MacDonald and Ma and Pa Kettle biography and Betty MacDonald interviews have fans in 26 countries. I bet there will be many more fans in the future. Isn' t this amazing? Wolfgang Hampel and Alison Bard Burnett are born humorists. Both delight their fans from all over the world. I'd love to have a Wolfgang Hampel CD and DVD with his very funny poems and stories. What about a book? We adore Wolfgang Hampel's high humor and wit in Betty MacDonald and Ma and Pa Kettle biography and his wonderful Betty MacDonald interviews.

Jens, it doesn't amaze me at all. As you wrote Alison Bard Burnett and Wolfgang Hampel are born humorists. I heard many more Alison Bard Burnett interviews by Wolfgang Hampel will be published in the future. Come on, please. Do it! This couple is so funny. I can listen to them a million times without getting tired. Pure Bard and Hampel magic.Wonderful story tellers, world painters, great entertainers. Alison Bard Burnett and Wolfgang Hampel share it with Betty MacDonald Fans from all over the world. By the way I don't like poems so much but Wolfgang Hampel's satirical poems are as witty and charming as his Betty MacDonald and Ma and Pa Kettle biography and Betty MacDonald Interviews. Wolfgang Hampel's very funny stories about everyday life make us laugh aloud.

I heard one of the next Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter stories are about our beloved Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honor members Monica Sone, Darsie Beck and Gwen Grant. When will it be published? In October? I hope so very much because I believe that these Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honor members are outstanding artists and writers.

Yours,

Ari
